Challenger Alex Borg pushes back with healthcare and energy crisis pledges, but voters seem more focused on wallets than walls. Tourism, gaming, and finance fuel Malta’s boom — sparking construction, foreign influx, and environmental backlash. Energy costs loom large, especially as the island imports nearly all power. Corruption whispers linger, but many prioritize personal finances. Some speculate Abela’s move was strategic — dodging looming legal drama over a high-profile murder. Results drop Sunday — shaping Malta’s next chapter on economy, environment, and stability. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
